I drove my R34 GTT this morning and when i arrived home the car does not even turn off even after taking out the keys as the engine is still running, and to add more to the problem today is Sunday which i drove around finding a mechanic they are all closed.

My car is in the garage still bloody running after i took out the keys.

What can i do? please help!

The car turns off by itself when i leave it for 30 seconds cause thats when the alarm automatically turns on but from now on it is just like that when i take the key out, its auto, i will have it checked by a mechanic soon.

Thanks for the tips guys.

Yes i bought this car about 3 months ago, the previous owner said it is pretty much stock, not sure if this is useful to anyone but my alarm is from "Mangoose" it wasn't like this when i drove back and forth on a weekly basis from Sydney to Bathurst (2 and half hours drive) during my 3 month duration until just now.

Even if i just drive to my local Westfield which is approximately 10 minute drive, the car wouldn't shut off for at least 20-30 seconds.

Funny its just happening now all of a sudden.

Because whilst the car was on you pressed button III (picture of a siren) and enabled the stupid built in turbo timer. You can disable it by doing the same, whilst the car is running and the key is in & set to ON, then press button III and the siren will chirp indicating it's turned off..

here's a guide for it

I've installed several of these stupid alarms because my mates just read up on forums going "this alarm is zee hektic I want one".. I get cases of beer, so I just install and receive beer.. everyone wins LOL

YES!! that was spot on as it was the alarm button which i must have accidentally pressed that turn on the turbo timer which is connected to the turbo timer (did not know i had a turbo timer), saved myself time and money all thanks to you guys :D

Winner!

This is the silliest idea ever!

Car thief beats the alarm system's 3 interrupts, then has a point to start your car, any turbo timer fitted.

Turbo timer gives a thief the three things it needs to start your pride & joy:

1. Power

2. Accessories

3. Ignition

May as well just hand your keys over!

Turbo timers are the biggest wank PERIOD!!

^ my first mods were:

  • remove & sell turbo timer
  • remove & sell wanky boost gauge
  • remove & sell BOV
  • remove & sell turbosmart boost controller
  • remove & sell pod filter

LOL

One of our apprentices recently bought an R33 GTST. It has a 2-5/8'' LIQUID FILLED boost gauge screwed to the upper left corner of the steering column shroud. I wondered why the previous owner had forked the extra for the liquid?

Wheel balance issues?

brake shudder maybe?

No, it was bigger than that.

The liquid is to smooth out the violent shaking from the engine overheating & sh#tting itself, because the boost gauge completely obstructs the temp gauge!

I pointed this out to the apprentice 5 months ago, boost gauge is still there..........

lol rice is nice alright haha

I have 1x gauge in my car and it's a wideband AFR other than that, there are no wanky dials in my car. There's a slim Engine Guardian which shows my water temp, oil temp and alerts on low oil pressure and doesn't stand out.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
